xSyn VS go-sync

xBrowserSync is another one.

You can use https://github.com/ishani/xSyn for self-hosting.

You can self-host it with 3d party https://github.com/ishani/xSyn

Actually, the v1 protocol was deprecated and replaced by a fork of chromium sync (https://github.com/brave/go-sync).

FWIW, the thread at https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/embedder-dev/c/NX... says:

> The Brave project has built a Sync server for their Chromium-based Brave browser: https://github.com/brave/go-sync and it is open source but uses Amazon Cloud for their database backend storage.

I think what you're describing are the "Tip" buttons which can be added on a few supported sites (which can be disabled). They aren't selling anything- it's a browser feature which people can use if they like.

The server implementation for sync is mostly compatible with Chromium and can be used without Brave. Someone could clone https://github.com/brave/go-sync and stand up their own server. It would require some patches on top of Chromium (similar to what is done in Brave) to implement the authentication - but once that is done, all of the Chromium tools like chrome://sync-internals work just fine

https://github.com/brave/go-sync and the --sync-url=... option for chromium

Do you mean like a file based backup solution? From researching similar things like CardDAV and why it's used, file based syncing tends to not be reliable enough. I'll update this post but as of not too long ago. Brave made exactly what I was looking for. A syncing tool that is linked to your devices. https://github.com/brave/go-sync I'll update the original post now.
